What Is a Good SEO Score?
A good SEO score is 80 or above out of 100, Grade A on most weighted checkers. But the honest answer is that the score is a summary, and the useful information is the list of failures beneath it. A 74 with three small warnings beats an 85 with one broken canonical, because the canonical failure quietly damages every duplicate URL.
How scores are built
Weighted checkers grade the factors you control: title, meta description, headings, canonical, schema, image alt text, links and content depth. Each factor carries a weight by how much it affects ranking, which is why a missing H1 hurts more than a long meta.
Read it like a to do list
Ignore the letter grade until you have cleared every failure. Then attack warnings in weight order. Re score after each fix batch and watch the trend, not the number.
